Roman Reigns returned to WWE as a heel after taking a break for a couple of months. Of course, the hot star of AEW, Chris Jericho, had a comment or two about this return.
Chris Jericho passes his judgement about Roman Reigns turning heel
As per Jericho, he is impressed with this turn from babyface-to-heel. He believes that The Big Dog will be a huge success as a heel. This success will give momentum to him reverting to babyface, and so on and so forth.

Furthermore, Chris Jericho believes that if Roman Reigns is allowed to be who he is, then he will make bigger strides than what he has been doing till now. In fact, he compares Roman Reigns to someone rather famous in both the wrestling and the entertainment industry – The Rock.
Jericho on Reigns cont.
"If you would just let Roman Reigns be himself, he’ll get over even more so. He’s just a cool guy.
"He reminds me The Rock. If you’re a guy you want to have a beer with him if you’re a girl you want to go on a date with him."

He’s not the only one who is happy with Roman’s heel turn. Almost all of his fans are quite ecstatic about this change of character.
Even in the match between The Fiend Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, and himself, Reigns depicted pure heelish moves. He signed the contract midway, entered half way through the match, and attacked both opponents at their weakest moment.

On top of that, Roman Reigns has paired up with Paul Heyman. The last time Paul Heyman paired with a great heel, he climbed to the top at an advanced speed.
This is none other than Brock Lesnar. However, the Reigns-Heyman alliance is slightly different from the Lesnar-Heyman Alliance.
Roman Reigns directly addresses the audience during the promos while Lesnar used to be absolutely silent. As a personal opinion, these slight differences will make him standout in the WWE universe.
